Sensation in the Copper Market.

NEW YORK, April ga morning paper says:
Holders of copper-mne stock are a good deal
worried over the disclosures that contracts have
been made by the Calumet 6 Hecla Company,
of Michigan, for the delivery of about s, 600, 900
pounds OF copper at 10 cents per pound, between
June and September The contracts are i'm
portant not only on account of the price, which
is break below current figures, but because
they cover virtually, the demand for the most
active months of the year This deal is in the
line Of the freezinG-out policy previously illus
trated in the operations of the Calumet With
the facilities Of that company ore can be deliv-
cred in New York at cents a pound The
Quincy Is the only company that can compete
at less than 10 cents q pound, and leave q mar
gin. Some of the companies that mine in the
lake region cannot cover the cost OF mining and
delivery at such figure. 1t is serious ques-
tion how. many of the companies will have TO
stop their mines this summer for lack of bust
ness. Out of an output last year of So coo tons
from the lake region, the Calumet furnished
10000. The chief hope for the other companies
lies in the probability that the capacity of the
Calumet will not be equal to the full demand for
the year.
